For some strange and unknown reason I cannot permanently change the contents of Keywords in Options > Code Formatting. Whenever I click the Apply button my changes are wiped out.

Check this short video here.

EDIT: there's a new option for Convert Keywords to I don't recall seeing before v 11.2: Upper-case, except functions. That's more or less what I need, except that besides the function names I have to leave type names lowercase too. Prior to this last update to 11.2 I was able to achieve that by switching to Custom-case and manually change cases in the Keywords list but now that no longer seems to be working.

EDIT2: also, as there's usually a function named left in some of the SQL Dialects, using Upper-case, except functions will result in oddly formatted code for joins, for example:
Code:
left OUTER JOIN


Other keywords (being function names at the same time) might be affected as well.

Please try restarting SQL Assistant system tray application. After the upgrade it might be running with different privileges, and Windows UAC is erasing the file changes.

I've restarted and running it now as admin but the problem persists.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue myself. I logged it anyway, and asked to investigate

That's a funny issue. The only way I cannot change the contents of the Keywords pane is by directly modifying it in the SA Options window. Exporting Code formatting to XML (or .sas) and then re-importing it will make those changes persist. That's quite a bit of overhead but luckily I don't want to do that often. Though I'm still curious about why it won't work here.
